That's a great idea... how about 10 bucks per week he goes unsigned, with a minimum of 50 bucks. Someone will need to remind me where to donate though.

Jackson has a tryout w/the Raiders according to ESPN.

Keep your money. Sounds like you're going to need it.

Ok, I didn't realize that. I thought it was anyone who was on the 53 man roster for the first game. Sorry.

Supposably he already met with the Steelers too although he supposably didn't turn off his cell phone and it rang multiple times during the interview according to PFT.

During the draft.

And any story in which Florio claims to have heard someone mutter at the airport is a bit suspect.

He did not do himself any favors with the prima donna attitude he displayed in pre-draft interviews. Unsubstantiated rumors had him acting like quite the princess, some teams took him off their boards immediately after his interview.

I think Florio was talking about Jacksons pre-draft meeting with the Steelers in '06.

As an official CJ is going to be a bust official card carrying member. I still have always felt that he could possibly have success in a different system. I hope he latches on with someone and has a good career, he was just never going to work here.
